So you are a cleric/wizard/someone who chooses spells in the morning...

How many different ways can we give them spontaneous spellcasting? I'm looking for all of them.


ACF:
Fangshield druid - Healing
Purple Staff - Faith healing
SPONTANEOUS DIVINATION - Cast any spell of the divination school (technically includes every spell lists)
[Side Note: Seriously? Any Divination spell?]
Divine Restoration: cast lesser restoration, restoration, or greater restoration
Spontaneous Domain Casting - Cast domain spells from one domain spontaneously instead of cure spells.
Spontaneous Dispelling - Abjurer can cast dispell magic spontanously.
Spontaneous Summoning: Conjurers using this variant can “lose” a prepared spell to cast any summon
monster spell of a lower level.
Halfling druid racial substitution - like, 5 spells.

Observations:
Spontaneous Summoning and Spontaneous Divination can be taken by the same wizard (conjuration specialist) to dump any spell for any divination or Summon monster spell 1 thru 8. Seems like a nice combo to me. Comments welcome.


Feats:
INITIATE OF AMAUNATOR - Grants spontaneously Fire spells
INITIATE OF LATHANDER- spontaneously Light spells.
SPONTANEOUS DOMAINS - Don't have to pick your domain spells ahead of time.
DOMAIN SPONTANEITY - Convert any non-domain spell into a selected domain
SPONTANEOUS HEALER- Convert spells like a cleric, if you can cast ANY cure spell already/limited by wisdom modifier.
SPONTANEOUS SUMMONER - Druid Ditto, must cast summon nature's ally.
SPONTANEOUS WOUNDER - Cleric Ditto, but for inflict spells.
ALACRITOUS COGITATION - Once a day use this for any spell in your spellbook.
ELEMENTAL ADEPT - Technically you need to be a wu jen to take it, but it doesn't say it only applies to Wu Jen, so if you take one level of Wu Jen, elemental specialize, you can then cast any spell of your chosen element spontaneously from ANY prepared Spellbook.
SIGNATURE SPELL - Pick one spell from the Spell Mastery Feat, you can now spontaneously Spam that spell.
ARCTIC PRIEST - Gain control weather, create food and water, endure elements, heroes’ feast, hibernate, protection from energy, and resist energy. as spells you can cast spontaneously


Anyrate, if you see that I missed something obvious, please let me know

Maybe they dont qualify as you'd like but reserve feats from complete mage. Though I suppose they are more like SLAs.

Actually, spontaneous divination has been errata'd to "Any spell you know from the divination school."

Hathran
Durthan

Both allow spontaneous casting of known spells within Rashamen. Hathran has an X times/day mechanic outside of Rashamen.

Thank You for your assistance.

Yes, I forgot about the reserve feats. They do deserve a mention.

I'm glad to see I got most of them. I will have to review the PrCs that give you spontaneous casting to see if any add to pre-existing preperation casting classes.

If anyone else has anything, Please speak up. I'm thinking of adding a new handbook to the EVD. I'm going to tackle the big one: WIZARD. Still in the planning stages, however. Just gatting raw data at this point.

Way cheesy, but tack on Versatile Spellcaster after adding any spontaneous casting ability. Proceed to spontaneously cast everything on your spell list.

I never see this mentioned, anywhere, but Magelord from Lost Empires of Faerun gives a wizard the ability to spontaneously cast any spell he has mastered via the Spell Mastery feat or its own class ability up to 9th level. Requires Evasion for some odd reason.
